Penny Ball and other random tidbits.

It's been a busy week.  And Julianne has decided that sleeping at night is the last thing on her to-do list.  Toddler parties from 2am-4am are not something I want to be invited to. 

It's funny.  Every once and while I will think that I miss having a cuddly baby around.  And then when Julianne pulls this prank, I remember:  babies do not sleep.  I like my sleep.  So we are back to Baby Bootcamp with her.  Which includes, learning how to fall asleep BY YOURSELF.  It's Day 2.  I'll let you know how it works out.

Jaxson has been saying some funny things lately.  I love how a mind of a four year old works.  One night when Julie was crying before she fell asleep, Jax said to me, "Poor Julie.  Her just want to get out of her crib." 

We've been playing Angry Birds Space before Jax goes to bed.  Jax does not like to lose, so he will play a level a couple of times, before handing it off to me to beat.  Everytime he does this, he says, "Come on, Mom, I know you can beat this!"  I enjoy the sideline cheer-leading for me.

Jaxson also recently discovered Yo Gabba Gabba.  I'm still not sure what this show is all about except for a basic theme and techno music, but he loves it.  And today, he came out singing a new song from them.  Here it is:

"Inside voice (whispering), OUTSIDE VOICE (yelling as loud as he can)."

It's quite enjoyable, really.

But Julianne is afraid of Yo Gabba Gabba.  When she sees the show, she starts pouting and crying.  I don't blame her.  So luckily, he can't watch it too much which saves me from more "energetic" songs for him to learn.

Jax has invented a new game.  One morning, he was busy running around throwing quarters everywhere, so I asked him what he was doing.  He said he was playing "Penny Ball." 

"What's Penny Ball?"  I asked.

He sighed and then said, "You throw the pennies (aka quarters) and then catch them."

Well, duh.

And lastly, I leave you with this video.  Little Julianne is quite the character.  And when we were all eating lunch, she decided to eat her chocolate chips this way.  Both Jax and I stared at her in amazement.  Where does she come up with this stuff?
